True Wild Life | Fish | Fish are found in every ocean, lake, river and stream in all corners of the globe, in many sizes, colours and species. Most fish (depending on size) tend to eat plankton in the water, insects and smaller fish.

Fish respire through gills in the sides of their heads, allowing the fish to breath underwater. Fish return to the water surface for air at varying intervals. The electric eel fish can go for up to 10 minutes without resurfacing for air.

Due to the bright colours of fish, and the fact that fish are extremely peaceful animals, many people today now keep all kinds of fish in tanks and ponds.

Unfortunately there is some rather misleading information in this article. While some fish have adapted so they can breathe atmospheric air as well as respiring through their gills when it is beneficial, and some have evolved so they now have to breathe atmospheric air, It is not true whatsoever that all fish need to surface for air. The vast majority get their air from water.
